Why is it that whenever I see string lights in homes posted on AP, they look awesome (in a cute cafe kind of way), but trying it in my own apartment, it ends up looking like a teenager decorated. Is it too untimely for a post on how to use string lights so they don't look like the worst thing ever? Sweet & Sunny Seats by the Window |

Here's the thing about water conservation (and this is coming from numerous hydrologists I've worked with): municipal water use is less than 10% of the total human water use, while about 69% of water goes to agriculture. One hydrologist actually told me that the water saved from conserving it in your home is negligible. But people like to think they're doing something...

It depends on where the wood is coming from. You can have wood from sustainable logging practices certified by independent environmental group, in which case, wood would be more "environmentally friendly" than say plastic-based or metal-based materials.

bepsf- I wish I could change the lights that easily but these fluorescent lights are huge (about 2 x 3 ft) and recessed, like an office! I wouldn't even know where to begin.... Apartment Therapy San Francisco | Decorating Ideas for Renters Domino Magazine |
